Disney Trash's Servers...

[Tiberius Fireskull]

Christopher... holes in sails didn't cause a huge amount of lag as far as I know. I haven't had any significant lag ever in the game, until the fishing update, long after holes in the sails were removed. Its not better that they removed them, however I do agree that the good outweighs the bad. We should be grateful for what we have. I for one, am hardly ever mad about what we don't have, however I do get upset when they take something away.

The only reason I'm upset is because taking away the servers wasn't necessary. Maybe they get to keep a few extra bucks in their wallet but look at it this way.

POTCO is just a side thing for Disney, right? They're not going to take money from Disneyland and give it to POTCO, because they profited that money, and they need to keep Disneyland running.

So why can't POTCO make it's own money? Why can a game like WOW or Wizard 101 come out of no where and start making more, and producing more than a Disney game? Why? Is it because Disney stinks when it comes to online game development?

I didn't even hear about WOW until about two years ago, and I thought it was lame, until I saw the hours of gameplay, and the comments about how amazing it is. Some random company called Blizzard comes out and makes a great online game, with content that will last you years. The game will probably be around even when I die, that's how much the developers are dedicated.

Why is Disney suddenly the little boy that doesn't know what he's doing when it comes to an online game? They have Panda3D for crying out loud, and they can't even release content fast. My patience isn't running low, I'll continue to play the game until they shut it down, but what I want to understand is why they're being passed by companies that came out of the blue with a good idea. What happened to Disney's creativity? If Walt Disney were still alive today he'd probably think the amount of work they've put into POTCO is pathetic.

POTCO is aiming for a C, while other games are aiming for an A, and billions of dollars a year. Again, I love POTCO, and the release of Raven's Cove has even made me think it's better than it was when it opened, because they look like they're working on interactive content, instead of a list of chores to do. But, it's not fast enough. I'd like to play this game for a long time(probably makes me sound like a lazy guy living in his moms basement), and it's just not moving as fast as other online games. If they can't speed up the release of content, then the game isn't going to last.

Well i had the worst lag you'd ever seem when the old grapics were around if i went sailing id crash if i went on the svs isles id crash if i looked at the ships they lowered the grapics because it was happening to alot of people but they added more effects like the fog around the sails when you start to move and the best thing they've done is removed servers it will save money for new updates and i mean come on 100 servers witch could cost a lot just to maintain that ppl almost never use i think disney is doing a great job i wouldnt be surprised if this game winds up winning a mmo award next year and if your worried about the problems with the accounts right now thats because they didn't account for the large masses of players when ithe update was on test and believe me this problem wasnt on test and if you pay attention to the ppl on test who have new ships if u examine them u can see disney is fixing them they have fixed lots of glitch and are working on the cannons of the ship of the line now i wouldnt be surprised to see them on live VERY soon

That is terrible, JM. I understand your frustration completely.
Your point alone shows that there should be more servers. Rude behavior will continue and it is a huge problem, but with more quiet servers it can defiantly help eliminate it.
